Dominic's goal with Evil Things was to take the sheer terror inspired by that real event and re-create it for the characters in his movie. The young characters in Evil Things dare to open that door and make contact with what is on the other side.

Goofs

At the beginning when they are passed by the van on Storm King Mountain Road, they are traveling south towards the city, instead of north towards the Catskills. You can tell this by the Hudson River being on the left side of the road, instead of the right.

Just Awful

This is the worst movie i have seen in a long, long time. The reviewer who gave it 8/10 must have an invested interested. The 'action' doesn't begin until halfway through - no faeces. The second half is women screaming & jumping at their shadow. It was so crap that i feel physically sick. IMDb must question raving reviews at odds with otherwise scathing ones.

Okay, okay. Must write ten lines or more. Well this is the third or fourth time that an IMDb review has persuaded me to watch a movie. only to have my nightly 'movie slot' wasted on silage. If you want to watch a genuine horror, watch Anti Christ.
